2 Page 1 of 4 Acoustical Performance Test Report REGUPOL AMERICA 33 Keystone Drive Lebanon, Pennsylvania Report E Test Date 06/18/15 Report Date 07/06/15 Project Scope Architectural Testing, Inc., a subsidiary of Intertek (Intertek-ATI), was contracted to conduct impact sound transmission and delta impact sound transmission tests. The complete test data is included as attachments to this report. The client provided the test specimen. The specimen was constructed on the date of testing. Test Methods The acoustical tests were conducted in accordance with the following standards. The equipment listed in the attachments meets the requirements of the following standards. ASTM E , Standard Test Method for Laboratory Measurement of Impact Sound Transmission Through Floor-Ceiling Assemblies Using the Tapping Machine ASTM E (2009), Standard Test Method for Laboratory Measurement of the Effectiveness of Floor Coverings in Reducing Impact Sound Transmission Through Concrete ASTM E (2012), Classification for Determination of Impact Insulation Class (IIC) ASTM E (2012) Standard Test Method for Determination of Decay Rates for Use in Sound Insulation Test Methods Test Procedure All testing was conducted in the VT test chambers at Intertek-ATI located in York, Pennsylvania. The microphones were calibrated before conducting the tests. The impact sound transmission test was conducted in accordance with the ASTM E 492 test method. Two background noise sound pressure level, two sound pressure level measurements with the tapping machine operating at each position specified by ASTM E 492, and five sound absorption measurements were conducted at each of five microphone positions. 130 Derry Courtaa York, PA 17406aa p f

3 Page 2 of 4 Test Procedure (Continued) The delta impact insulation test was conducted in accordance with ASTM E 2179 test method. In addition to the impact sound transmission test, two sound pressure level measurements with the tapping machine operating at each position specified by ASTM E 492 with only the concrete slab installed. The air temperature and relative humidity conditions were monitored and recorded during all measurements. Test Conditions Source Room Receive Room Average Temperature 22.1 C Average Temperature 22.6 C Average Relative Humidity 76% Average Relative Humidity 70% Test Calculations The IIC (Impact Insulation Class) and ΔIIC (Delta Impact Insulation Class) ratings were calculated in accordance with ASTM E 989 and ASTM E 2179, respectively.
